Dear All,

*For who?*
This Masterclass is designed for a diverse combination of professionals, researchers, and practitioners. We believe systemic change needs diverse perspectives. We therefore invite civil servants, entrepreneurs, community leaders, students, facilitators, consultants, project leaders, sustainability activists and managers. You will represent diverse contexts but share a strong commitment to being in a learning trajectory that combines intellectual input with active participation.

*What is it?*
There are increasing expectations of the potential contribution of social innovation to deal with sustainability challenges and economic downfall. New solutions offered by social entrepreneurs and civil society networks are often a response to state and market pressures, and expected to enable societal transformation. But how do social innovations contribute to systemic change? Can they help to drive transitions towards more sustainable societies? How are social innovations replicated and scaled? What can we learn from social entrepreneurs and others to support change agendas within our organisations? This Masterclass aims to answer these questions by tapping into the latest research and practice on social innovation and sustainability transitions, drawing from the combined expertise of the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT http://www.drift.eur.nl/?page_id=5965), the Transition Academy http://transitionacademy.nl/ and the Impact Hub http://www.impacthub.net/ network.
